The Aristaeus beats the HEV90 in every catagory(IMO) except for looks and that overly warm, romantic, gooey sound that we all seem to like from time to time. I would love to own one as an accompaniment to my HE90/Aristaeus...

Although I haven't had the chance to hear the 009's, I've read many posts by those who thought they were too bright. That's certainly not a word I would use to describe the HE90's, that sounds more like every Grado I've tried. The...

If I had a pad or pads that were falling apart as some claim donating them would be no problem but both of mine are in like new condition, so no can do. Gary

I've heard re-cabled 600's and 650's and could clearly hear the benefits. Not having heard the 800's yet, would it not also benefit with recabling? I'm not trying to stir the pot here but I see people saying anemic bass, harsh highs,...

So he robbed the guy?
